When you walk across the threshold of Annagem, St. Augustine’s newest boutique jewelry store and art gallery, expect to be dazzled. Annagem’s owners, Anne Crivelli and Ashley McLemore, offer a wide selection of handcrafted gold and silver jewelry featuring precious and semi-precious gemstones.
“We believe that giving a gift or treating yourself should be a meaningful experience,” said Crivelli. “That’s why we specialize in items you won’t find anywhere else.”

n addition to Annagem’s outstanding collection of fine artisan jewelry for both women and men, the store also offers original artwork by local artists and hand-blown glass sculptures and vases.
Annagem Jewelry and Art Gallery is the result of a dynamic partnership between Crivelli, an experienced business owner with a passion for creativity, and McLemore, a jewelry expert with years of industry knowledge. Together, they have created a boutique destination where hand-crafted jewelry and unique artwork come together in a welcoming and inspiring space.
Located in South St. Augustine, off State Road 206 and two miles from the Crescent Beach Ramp on A1A, this boutique gallery is the perfect place to hunt for treasure, whether it’s a statement necklace, beautifully crafted ring or keepsake to mark a special milestone or occasion.
Both Crivelli and McLemore believe that jewelry and art should be personal and meaningful and share a dedication to sourcing unique pieces. Whether you’re searching for a distinctive gift or a statement piece for your home, Annagem’s collection features craftsmanship, originality and artistry.
To celebrate their store opening — and the kick-off to holiday shopping season — Annagem is offering a fun, in-store promotion called Bling and Ball Game Giveaway with a grand prize of two tickets to the Sept. 21 Jacksonville Jaguars game against the Houston Texans, blingy Jaguars cap and other goodies.
Entrants must go to the store to enter, and there are a variety of ways to play: try on any piece of jewelry earns one entry; sign up for Annagem’s VIP email list earns one entry; take a selfie in the store and tag Annagem on Instagram or Facebook to earn two entries; and purchase any piece of jewelry to earn five entries. The random drawing will be held at 4 p.m. Sept. 12.
Annagem also offers services such as bead- and pearl-stringing, which factored into the creation of Annagem’s in-store Pearl Stringing Experience.
“This hands-on workshop is a fun way to celebrate a birthday or host a bridesmaid or bachelorette party,” said McLemore, the pearl stringing expert who leads the activity.
All materials (freshwater pearls, silk thread, sterling silver or gold-filled clasps), tools, expert guidance and light refreshments are provided. Price per person for this unique party experience is $60, and reservations are required with a minimum of three guests and maximum of 10 guests.
Crivelli and McLemore say they are enthusiastic to give back to the community and are proud to support and collaborate with area not-for-profit organizations such as the St. Augustine Humane Society, an organization near and dear to the third member of Annagem’s team: Miss Maggie Mae. Maggie is Crivelli’s pampered pooch and Annagem’s greeter and official mascot.
Opened in Spring of 2025, this boutique jewelry store and art gallery is located at 1054 S.R. 206, two miles west of S.R. A1A and two miles east of U.S. 1.
Annagem Jewelry and Art Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Annagem also offers select jewelry items for sale on their online store at shopannagems.com.
